The Ukrainian Free Territory, also know as Makhnovshchina (Ukrainian: Махновщина) was a supposedly stateless society that existed during the Russian Civil War, however, it was effectively a bandit state, headed by Nestor Makhno. Its lack of true statelessness can be attributed to its Feudalistic economy.[1]
